| The highlight of the day was the discovery of the second American Coot of the week; at Ballyconneely, County
Galway: only the third Irish record. Elsewhere, a White-billed Diver flew past Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire, and in Cornwall two Little Buntings
were located together at Rosenannon Downs. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Pied-billed Grebe on the Western Isles, American Buff-bellied Pipit in County Down, Desert Wheatear in Denbighshire, Dusky Warbler in Cornwall, Red-breasted Goose in Cornwall, four Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls together on the Shetland Isles, Lesser Yellowlegs in both Devon and Lancashire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, and two Richardson's Canada Geese together in County Sligo. Scarcities included Richard's Pipit (Northumberland), Yellow-browed Warbler (Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (2)), Surf Scoter (County Cork and County Waterford), American Wigeon (West Yorkshire), Ring-necked Duck (Isle of Scilly (3), Somerset and Western Isles). Waxwings were logged across 45 counties between Aberdeenshire, the Western Isles, Cornwall and Kent, including flocks of 170 in Leicestershire, 120 Lincolnshire, 100 Denbighshire, 84 Staffordshire and 76 in Bedfordshire. |
